FiNN FLARE, one of the largest Russian brands of casual and active wear, has implemented Gerber Technology’s YuniquePLM to enhance productivity and efficiency. The company's retail network is comprised of 111 stores in Russia and Kazakhstan, as well as 63 franchised stores.

FiNN FLARE maintains its competitive prices by being able to quickly make adjustments in the production process and capturing detailed cost information. YuniquePLM enables them to accelerate the production process and better manage product costs by streamlining communications and data exchange with suppliers in Asia.

FiNN FLARE upgraded from Gerber Technology’s webPDM product data management software to V5 of YuniquePLM product lifecycle management software. Alexander Mironov, IT Director of FiNN FLARE said, "Our decision to upgrade to YuniquePLM was founded on powerful enhancements that will help our team work smarter and faster. V5 gives us simplified ways to create styles, generate bills of material, and carry out necessary reporting and planning functions. We look forward to improved communication with our vendors, as well as improving the quality and flow of information throughout the supply chain. "

FiNN FLARE will also integrate YuniquePLM with their existing ERP system. "We were delighted to learn that YuniquePLM works in tandem with our ERP to help us more tightly control pricing and delivery," added Natalya Kondrashina , commercial director for FiNN FLARE.

Bill Brewster, vice president of Global Sales and Marketing at Yunique Solutions said, “It has been a pleasure working with FiNN FLARE since 2009 and we are thrilled that they have decided to implement YuniquePLM which has improved efficiency, productivity and collaboration, and ultimately enables rapid speed to market and reduced product costs.”

FiNN FLARE, originally known as “The Salon Leninkitukku,” was founded in 1960 in Salo, Finland. In 1965, the company began producing clothes under the registered trademark FiNN FLARE.
